I just want to leave a positive memory of setting an example and bringing our youth with us.

I shouldn't even be wearing a tutu. I don't have the right legs, my muscles are too big.

I never knew I wanted to become a ballerina. I was discovered at the age of 13. I had a love for movement even though I had no exposure to dance other than what I saw in music videos, like hip-hop music videos. But I knew that I loved moving.

When I was younger, my feet would hurt a lot, but you build up calluses and strength and you don't feel as much pain there.

I know that most of the time I have to work overtime to do everything that I want to.

The best piece of advice that I remember probably on a daily basis is to accept everything about me that is different. That is what makes me special.

I think I'm pretty laid back. I like cooking, being at home, and going to concerts. And I love to shop!
